Firstly, medial rotation and lateral rotation is when moving a hand inward and outward, while raising a hand with the elbow parallelizing to body, while the shoulder aligning with the body. We would like to identify treatments when either medial rotation or lateral rotation causes pain, or when the rotation lacks of measurement angle, when measured.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to estimate the reliability of cervical range of motion measurement in healthy adults using smart phone application and goniometer that can be easily applicated in clinical setting. Methods : The cervical range of motion was measured as the flexion, extension, right rotation, left rotation, right lateral flexion, and left lateral flexion. To measure the reliability of intra-rater and inter-rater reliability, the same examiner performed two measurements and the other examiner performed once, total measurement were performed three times. The order of tests was randomized and two examiners didn't know the results of measurements. Results : Thirty healthy adults were participated. The result of this study shows that there were are no significant differences in all movements except the right lateral flexion in comparison of average angle of smart phone application and goniometer. The intra-rater reliability of smart phone application and goniometer showed ICC as .841~.958 and the inter-rater reliability showed ICC as .720~.944 for all movements. Conclusion : These results suggest that smart phone application and goniometer have proven to be reliable in measuring the cervical range of motion. Smart phone application can be used as a useful tool in clinical setting due to fast and accurate measurements of cervical range of motion.

This study evaluated the effect of self thoracic mobilization exercise (STME) on shoulder pain, disability and shoulder function in patients with shoulder dysfunction. Thirty-two patients with shoulder dysfunction were randomly assigned to the STME group and the control group. The visual analog scale, shoulder dysfunction, and shoulder range of motion were evaluated before and after intervention. Sixteen STME intervention patients used a foam roller and quadripedal position flexion and extension. Sixteen controls received placebo effects using electrotherapy pads. The two groups performed 20 minutes for three times per week for four weeks. The STME group showed significant improvement in pain and dysfunction compared to that of the control group (p <0.05), and their range of motion of the shoulder was significantly improved in flextion, abduction, and external rotation compared to that of the placebo group (p <0.05). Therefore, STME is effective in resolving shoulder pain and dysfunction, and will be able to educate patients with shoulder pain in an easier approach and mediate social treatment costs.
